Abstract

The degradation with time was determined for high-temperature superconducting quantum interference devices (SQUIDs) with ramp-edge geometry Josephson junctions (Ag:YBa2Cu3O7-x/PrBa2Cu 3O7-x/Ag:YBa2Cu3O7-x). The critical current of the devices tended to decrease with a mean percentage of less than 7% over a period of more than 500 days. The junction resistance, on the other hand, increased with a mean percentage of 5%. The voltage modulation of the SQUIDs was unchanged within experimental reproducibility, presumably due to the cancellation of the changes in critical current and resistance.
